Hare, whale, milk and shell keep changing places in these poems, never fixed to one meaning, mixing and transforming. The collection circles conception and birth, meaning built from fluids, fat and calcification, and a closeness whose core is solitude. Dense with rhymes, echoes and beat, the poems can be heard as lullabies in a language both new and ancient.
